Turn your screen upside down?

Windows 7... right click on desktop, click Screen Resolution, on the drop down menu 'Orientation' put it on 'Landscape Flipped', click ok.

Install this software. http://www.getpaint.net
BTW it is a great replacement for MS paint.

Take a screen shot of metatrader. Open the image with Paint.NET. Go Image->Flip Vertical.

I can't find the link now but I had seen a website that offered the charts both as EUR/USD and USD/EUR. That would serve you better if you can find it.

Try this.
Did it some time ago and it is not elegant but it works if that is what you want.

You will need to resize the main part of the chart to as small as it will go and the indi in the sub window to as large as it will go (if that makes sense).

Also set indicator_color3 & indicator_color6 to your chart background colour.

It is default set up for GBUSD so for other pairs you will need to set relevant values either in the code or on the common tab when you first load the indi.

Did say that it is not elegant but if you want inverted prices I know no other way. Someone else may have a better idea.

Put the indi onto the chart.
Drag the border between the main window and the indi window to the very top of the main chart window.
The indi should now fill the whole (or nearly) of that chart.

If you cannot see the candles in the indi window it will be because the scale is wrong. You would then need to adjust the indi window max and min values to accommodate the correct values.
(Right click on chart/ indicators/common tab/ put tick in Fixed Minimum & Maximum boxes/ adjust the values)

In the code.........


Inserted Code
#property copyright "mn"

#property indicator_separate_window
#property indicator_buffers 8
#property indicator_color1 Red
#property indicator_color2 Blue
#property indicator_color3 [color="Red"]Gainsboro[/color]      // Set to chart bacground colour
#property indicator_color4 Red
#property indicator_color5 Blue
#property indicator_color6 [color="red"]Gainsboro      [/color]// Set to chart bacground colour


Change the Gainsboro to whatever your chart background colour is.
Then recompile the code (F5)

NP. Hope it helps.

For the chart scale...
Added slight mod .... it will show you the chart max/min values for the number of bars that you want to see.

(It is only a comment so will show in the main chart window which you will have to leave larger to start with to see the values)

Good indi futurespec, thank you.

Here is an other one I just found, called iMirror. It basically creates a mirror image of your chart, within your chart, so you save some space on the top of your screen since it does not use an indicator window. You can change the color of your candlesticks and make them invisible, leaving only the reversed indicator candlesticks on. Just remember that since your chart is mirrored, those price numbers mean nothing.

If you downloaded the latest version then the values should show in the main window. (for however many bars you selected).
Set the values by editing values in indicator common tab.
Then maximise the indi window and minimise the chart window.
